Chair's Statement
Annual Report 2023
I am pleased to introduce the CII’s Annual Report 2023. It sets out all aspects of our operational and financial performance for the year, as well as outlining the checks and balances that are undertaken to ensure that we operate effectively and efficiently.
It complements the detailed statement covering the organisation’s financial performance and senior personnel changes in the year contained in the accompanying CII Consolidated Financial Statements 2023.
I would like, in addition, to take this opportunity to welcome Matthew Hill to the CII as our new Chief Executive. We were delighted to have been able to appoint Matthew from a field of very strong candidates. Matthew brings a breadth of experience from a twenty‑year career in the civil service and his previous position as Chief Executive of the Legal Services Board. The CII Group Board is confident that his leadership, combined with our exceptional volunteer network and the commitment, hard work and deep technical and sectoral expertise of our organisation’s staff, will enable the CII Group to achieve the goals and ambitions set out in our five-year Strategic Plan launched last year.
DR HELEN PHILLIPS FRSB DL,
Chair of the Board
